Your first Malairte workshop does not need a stage, a sponsor, or a hundred people. It needs a quiet room, four to eight curious humans, and an honest plan. Because Malairte (MLRT) is CPU and GPU mineable, every attendee can leave having actually mined a few coins on their own laptop. That tangible moment is what people remember.

Pick a date and a small venue

Two hours on a weekday evening or a weekend morning works best. Avoid Friday nights. Look for a coffee shop back room, a public library meeting room, a veteran hall lounge, or a friendly makerspace. Confirm the venue has reliable Wi-Fi, enough power outlets, and permission for a small group to chat openly about software.

Decide who the workshop is for

Be specific. A workshop for total beginners runs differently from one for retired hobbyist programmers or for a veterans-only group. Write one sentence describing the attendee: "A neighbour who has never owned crypto and brought their five-year-old laptop." Plan around that person.

The two-hour agenda

  • 0:00-0:15 Arrivals, name tags, coffee, no laptops yet.
  • 0:15-0:30 A plain-language intro: what Malairte is, why CPU/GPU mining matters, no price talk.
  • 0:30-1:00 Wallet setup together, step by step, on the projector.
  • 1:00-1:30 Start mining on each laptop and watch the first block confirmations roll in.
  • 1:30-1:50 Open questions, scam awareness, where to go next.
  • 1:50-2:00 Thanks, photos if everyone consents, follow-up email promise.

Gear and snacks

Bring a projector or a large monitor, one HDMI cable, a power strip, printed cheat sheets with the wallet download URL, and name stickers. Snacks matter more than you think. Coffee, tea, water, and something to nibble keeps energy steady and gives quiet attendees something to do with their hands.

Set the tone early

Open with a short rule: no price talk, no shilling, no judgement. Say it out loud. Attendees relax when they know the workshop is about understanding, not selling. End by inviting everyone to a follow-up session or a small chat channel. The second workshop is always easier than the first.
